How to make and receive calls on your PC without reaching for your phone.

In these unprecedented times, many of us are working from home on computers and at times, more often than not, juggling between the computer and the phone. But it does not have to be that way. It is possible to use both without any juggling. How? With Microsoft's Your Phone App for Android. This app will get your phone and your Windows 10 computer talking to each other and will route notifications, text messages to your PC. The most exciting feature is the ability to make and receive phone calls on your PC without touching your phone. 

For the magic to work, you will need a PC running Windows 10 version 1803 or higher and a phone running Android 7 or higher. Sorry Mac and iPhone users, nothing for you here.

• Download Microsoft's Your Phone app from the Google Play Store.
• Download Your phone app for your PC from the Microsoft Store. 

You must sign in with a Microsoft account both on your PC and in the app on your phone. After you've signed in, they are ready to talk to each other. But first, make sure both devices are connected to the same network; That would be your home Wi-Fi. You will receive a notification on your phone asking that you allow the connection between your devices. Go ahead and hit allow and Android phone will appear in the Your Phone app on the PC

Open Your Phone on your PC. You will see Calls in the left column. But before you can start using it, a Bluetooth connection must be established between your phone and the computer.

Click Calls and Get Started. Your PC will ask whether you want to "Let Your Phone make phone calls?". Click Yes. From there, just follow the on-screen instructions. Enable Bluetooth on your phone and click Setup on the computer. Click Pair if both PIN matches. That's it. You're all set.

You will see the phone dialer on your PC. Start dialing or use the Search box to find contacts stored on your phone. Note that you can easily switch back to your phone during a call.

Let me know if run into problems during setup or have questions.

New Telegram's chat folder and archiving will help you unclutter your feed.

In an update published today, Telegram introduces chat folders, a feature users with a lot of activity in their feed will certainly appreciate as it will help unclutter their feed and quickly and easily sort through their messages. Users can create custom folders in the app settings or use the preset folders and these folders can appear as tabs in the app. 

Version 6.0.1 of Telegram also lets you easily transfer your chats to the archived chats folder with a simple swipe from the left. Unless you choose to mute the chat, archived chats that receive a notification will reappear in your feed.

Chat folder and archiving are, in my opinion, the most important elements in this update, but there are more features, most of them related to the folders. See the full changelog below.

• Organize chats into Chat Folders if you have too many chats.
• Create custom folders with flexible settings, or use default recommendations.
• Pin an unlimited number of chats in each folder.
• Swipe between folders to easily access all of your chats.
